She chose to work for a Catholic institution. Dragonsoul Send a noteboard - 05/09/2010 05:54:23 PM
Knowing full well what that means. If she can't abide by the rules of that institution, then she will be let go.

If you don't like how the Catholic Church operates, fine. Don't be Catholic. Religion, especially here in the West, is a choice. If you don't want to/can't follow the rules of your chosen religion, then leave or expect to be expelled. The same goes for religious schools and work programs.

It's called freedom. Freedom to choose which religion to follow, and freedom for that religion to choose it's beliefs.

Religion 100% aside, it's"okay" because she breached her contract LadyLorraine - 05/09/2010 12:18:36 AM 1243 Views

goodness knows that the military sign their rights away ALL THE TIME LadyLorraine - 05/09/2010 02:44:58 AM 1087 Views
While I understand that view Roland00 - 05/09/2010 04:05:29 AM 1182 Views
There is a difference in the degree of the transgressions and the public nature of them as well. Cannoli - 05/09/2010 02:30:06 AM 1177 Views
agreed. There may be some hypocrisy in the church employment practices... LadyLorraine - 05/09/2010 02:49:44 AM 1138 Views
That's the crux of it. Joel - 07/09/2010 11:24:44 AM 1281 Views

what a stupid thing to say Yunalesca - 05/09/2010 07:38:16 PM 1217 Views
Um... no? One can be excommunicated for any number of things. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/09/2010 08:22:29 PM 440 Views
yeah back in the time when there was no electricity *NM* Yunalesca - 05/09/2010 08:25:17 PM 487 Views
...um, no. I'm not sure where you're getting that from, but it's completely wrong. Ghavrel - 06/09/2010 01:06:49 AM 1105 Views
You can't be excommunicated for being gay Roland00 - 06/09/2010 02:51:21 AM 1197 Views
No one here said you could. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 03:00:07 AM 1152 Views
I am not disagreeing with that, excommunications do happen Roland00 - 06/09/2010 03:07:57 AM 1204 Views
This is a classic example of me inadvertently coming to complete agreement with the Vatican. Joel - 07/09/2010 12:05:52 PM 1206 Views
Wow! What an underwhelming argument. everynametaken - 06/09/2010 04:24:32 AM 1180 Views
Remember that NC Baptist church kicking out non-Bush supporters in '04? Joel - 07/09/2010 11:46:18 AM 1320 Views
Actually, the Pope has the right to say "sorry, you're not a Catholic anymore". Dragonsoul - 05/09/2010 08:43:34 PM 1340 Views
See above post Roland00 - 06/09/2010 02:52:25 AM 1054 Views
What? Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 02:56:59 AM 1066 Views
Nope Roland00 - 06/09/2010 03:03:48 AM 1115 Views
Inaction, like, for example, not saving lives where you could have is also grounds for expulsion. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 06:35:31 PM 963 Views
Hmm, but I think that's a different type of inaction than the kind he's discussing LadyLorraine - 06/09/2010 08:02:50 PM 1304 Views
I never infered that that was the case. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 08:24:30 PM 978 Views
mmm, but your example isn't inaction ALONE LadyLorraine - 06/09/2010 08:46:56 PM 1101 Views
Hmm interesting question. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 10:35:19 PM 1175 Views
is excommunication about "use" though? LadyLorraine - 06/09/2010 10:36:55 PM 1202 Views
I don't know. Dragonsoul - 07/09/2010 05:47:42 AM 1065 Views
yah, I'd agree with that LadyLorraine - 07/09/2010 11:59:01 AM 1198 Views
Well thank god you aren't the pope Roland00 - 07/09/2010 03:29:00 AM 1173 Views
I would say the same for you. Dragonsoul - 07/09/2010 05:50:55 AM 1117 Views
Dismas is a Saint? Joel - 07/09/2010 12:08:45 PM 1207 Views
It's pretty hard to argue with that one. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/09/2010 04:18:41 AM 431 Views
Yeah, was just surprised they'd made it official is all. Joel - 08/09/2010 04:36:28 AM 1149 Views
You are purposefully trying to split hairs Roland00 - 07/09/2010 03:15:08 AM 1077 Views
Calling me an idiot... Dragonsoul - 07/09/2010 05:52:39 AM 1098 Views
My turn to split hairs: Joel - 07/09/2010 12:10:33 PM 1091 Views
does excommunication mean you are no longer Catholic? random thoughts - 06/09/2010 08:52:58 PM 1005 Views
i'm pretty sure we have this conversation on a weekly basis. *NM* LadyLorraine - 06/09/2010 09:05:33 PM 459 Views
Yeah. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 10:34:10 PM 996 Views
is being Catholic a belief system or a club? random thoughts - 06/09/2010 11:03:00 PM 1076 Views
Depends on who you ask Roland00 - 07/09/2010 03:12:23 AM 1224 Views
It's both. Dragonsoul - 07/09/2010 05:54:13 AM 1171 Views
I'm unsure about that. It doesn't invalidate baptism. Ghavrel - 07/09/2010 08:23:33 AM 1064 Views
I thought conformation is what made you a member of the church *NM* random thoughts - 07/09/2010 06:42:36 PM 436 Views
You're correct. Dragonsoul - 08/09/2010 02:33:45 AM 1094 Views
Either way, it's a sacramental character, and so my point stands. You can't erase the seal of either *NM* Ghavrel - 08/09/2010 04:18:12 AM 446 Views
Hey I haven't brought up the last two times Roland00 - 07/09/2010 03:30:18 AM 1089 Views
My god people that cheat or divorce shouldn't be Catholic Roland00 - 06/09/2010 02:26:23 AM 988 Views
I'm inclined to agree. Joel - 07/09/2010 11:31:59 AM 1054 Views
